I've started it mostly because I've realised I'll only improve my artistic style if I have to force myself to work on something every single week. So I don't expect it'll be very good at first. But there's always hope. ]]>

their website now so I'll post it here as well. I had to make this happen at the same time as my finals for last semester, so I still have a hard time looking at it without wishing I'd spent more time, but it'll do.

Speaking of Pencils and sketches. I have a lil sketch club. We decided our challenge would be Emma Frost ( and/or) Jack Frost. We usually do a sketch then write a quick paragraph blurb story whatever for it. Here's my scribbles on it so far.

I want to make it a flesh n blood club once i move back to Atlanta. hire models and make pie...yeah. pie. and mojitos. I'm good at those. I'l probably do a lil video or something maybe even have a Skype in session but that's when i get fancier.

@CaratheWalton - Thank you ma'am!

@Paul Sizer ^___^ thanks darlin!

@Kmcleod _ its in my fb group. I'm building out the lil thingie on my site so people can contribute independently of the fb beast.

What i plan on doing is have people vote on random topics to mash up then we have one month to create a single image or panel and a short written blurb. I'm working on the best of them being published to disinfo's front page with a link to sketch club and a link to the artist's site. but i'm putting all that together now. In the mean time we just draw stuffs and help one another get better where we can. I can post whatever topic we do here too if you like! or just start up a new thread ;] but i like it in here. its cozy...

I recently learned Frank Quietly only did pencils for all his batman stuff, no inks. I went back for a gander and couldn't really tell [...or didn't care, still loved the books.] Shall experiment with the scanner, see what can be done. ]]>

As stated, I don't really ink other people's stuff at all.IT'S HARD. Mostly because I've seen the work he does, and it's amazing. A few caveats... 1. I only invested about a 1/2 hour on this, 2. I inked it to eventually have a colorist do some of the gradients and 3. My feathering skills are really bad. You can see where I was doing some cross-hatch testing on the bottom right edge of the figure I included some of the tone edge lines in the inks for having an edge, eventually to soften them up in coloring.I did this in MangaStudio with a Zebra G-style nib.So yeah, meh for my "ability to ink Neil Ford" skills. Still think the direct pencils to color thang might yield some awesomeness. ]]>

@ imaginary- luv the bug@ fishelle - what a strange and wonderful peice of depressing comics. hope to see more of these@neil ford- great expression. Adam Kubert did a bunch of awesome pencil w/color stuff on the incredible Hulk maybe between issues 450-460 that where always the highlights of that book for me, I think your work would do well with the technique.@mojo-prolific as always! my fav is the crazy red guy with the beard in the last post.

so i'll need to develop some kind of onomonopia for the "i love hate your art bones" smh and you make me want to trash all the stuff i thought was cool i'd done in the bin face.

but in the meantime:@Ryan S Thomason - damn you.. now i want the octopus too....stop making me want things!@mojokingbee ::narrows eyes:: effortlessly cool@Neil Ford. ::waves art fist of admiration and simultaneous fury:: its like i want your art on a meatless rotisserie ...well maybe some lamb. but only if it didn't get it greasy...@Richard pace - i really like the hatching and expression in that. well done sir.

@ Nocuddletime- love the creepy cards @ amalgamated- that is damn weird, I am digging the longer comics!@Neilford- wow that painted face is just incredible, I'd fork out some money for a graphic novel done in that style in a second@afua- that's a great mermaid, very unique & interesting style!@ ChrisG- this is my favorite from you in a long time- I like the sarcastic but not purposefully offensive bleakness here

I posted some big monster drawings here earlier this month and the exhibition they were a part of got featured on the Space Channel ( a Toronto sci-fi tv station, I don't know if it exists elsewhere but it is pretty cool). You guys might also enjoy Al Runt's crazy drawings in the video, he organized the exhibition and is a Toronto Underground Art Legend.

This is the wrap around cover i made for a new comic. I finished the whole book ( I always do the covers last) and am going to try to do 3 more issues before the TCAF (toronto comics arts festival) in march.

Here's the deer hunting scene from my new comic, I am excited to have it self-published by the end of this week ]]>

This one took forever and had quite a few false starts.Private commission from late last year. Actually managed to forget about it between applying coats of fixative.
